Rated 5 out of 5 byreviewer1754802 from Most important feature is the fast database, but also has a lot of machine learning functions and integrationsWhat is our primary use case?I'm a Vertica specialist, and I'm certified by Micro Focus. The solution is deployed on-premise, but we have another installation on the cloud for another client.What is most valuable?It's the fastest database I have ever tested. That's the most important feature of Vertica. It has a lot of contents and machine learning functions. Today we have a lot of options for deploying. It has a lot of integrations.What needs improvement?I think they need an easy client so that you can write queries easily, but it's not necessarily a weak point. I think some users would need them.In other versions of Vertica, there is a lack of integrations in some machine learning models. But today, the latest version has it all. I don't think they need too much improvement in that area. For me, it's great considering the use case I work with.For how long have I used the solution?I have been using this solution for four years.How are customer service and support?I haven't really had the opportunity to talk with them, but that's because the database just works. I don't really need technical support for maintaining and running the database. The documentation is very clear too.What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?The pricing depends on the license model because there are several. It depends on the client, but it's cheaper than other solutions. I think it's cheap for all the functionality and robustness. It's not very expensive to deploy.What other advice do I have?I would rate this solution 8 out of 10.People should be careful with the way they are loading their data because Vertica is very fast at copying data. There are some operations that are slower than Oracle or SQL Server, but normally you wouldn't use that.Which deployment model are you using for this solution?On-premisesDisclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 5 out of 5 byTeddy Elias from Improved my organization's functionality and performanceHow has it helped my organization?It has improved my organization's functionality and performance.What is most valuable?You don't have any more dependency on the local store. In order to build the on-prem process for Vertica, you need to make a lot of changes and be picky about choosing your hardware for it. On Eon, you just put it on S3, so you're not paying a penny for the stores anymore. That's the good thing about Eon.What needs improvement?We are looking for a cheaper deployment for the solution. Although we did a lot of benchmarks, like Redshift. We tried Redshift, it didn't work. It didn't work out for us as well.For how long have I used the solution?I have been using Vertica since 2009.What do I think about the stability of the solution?When you're on-prem, you're always worried about losing your nodes. It was hard to restore especially when you have big data.What do I think about the scalability of the solution?Scalability has been amazing. We have seen a lot of improvement. We have developers and we have a production demo. We have hosted clusters for customers, we have deployed customer scope. I can scribe them by petabytes. I can scale them by the number of users. It depends on the customers. For one project we can have 15 to 20 consecutive users, but they deal with petabytes of storage.How are customer service and technical support?Their support is really bad. Maybe Micro Focus has changed but they were not good before. They weren't really responsive. We've never had good support.I would rate it a three out of ten. I met with them two months ago. They asked why we didn't renew our support. They wasted a lot of our money. We've had really bad experiences with Vertica.Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?We previously used Oracle and we decided to go for big data.How was the initial setup?The initial setup was straightforward for me, it's not complex at all. You need to be at least a bit of a database administrator and really get certified on Vertica in order to use it.What other advice do I have?My advice to someone considering Vertica is to go for it.Nothing is missing. I would rate it a ten out of ten.The only issues are support and the price.Which deployment model are you using for this solution?Public CloudDisclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 5 out of 5 byJelsonGhigonetto from Enhanced capabilities, good customer service, large data scalability and stableWhat is our primary use case?The solution is a BI solution that includes machine learning. Our company is involved in the distribution of water and we use it to capturing data for several points and to discover where there might have been a loss of drinkable water.There is a problem with the water distribution because the company that I'm working for has an index of 32% of water loss during the process of the distribution. These losses can be from a different source. It can be from leakage, it can be an error or on the meter read which can have many issues, sometimes the problem occurs in different hours depending on the pressure of the water network. We need to use artificial intelligence to collect millions of the data points to detect where the problem might be coming from.What is most valuable?The solution has great capabilities. The tool that instructs the internal database forward is easy to use and is very powerful.What needs improvement?The product could be less expensive and could benefit from a better marketing strategy.In a future release, I would like to have one application to help create intelligent models.For how long have I used the solution?We have been testing and developing the solution for two years.What do I think about the stability of the solution?We did not have any technical problem with the solution.What do I think about the scalability of the solution?The solution has great scalability. We started with one terabyte of compressed data, this is a lot of data and we never had problems with the scalability. You can have hundreds of terabytes with the solution if you want, it all depends on your needs.How are customer service and technical support?The customer service is very good. They could improve on their expertise and knowledge of bigger projects and their support for them. Some of their information about collecting data I was not satisfied with their help. They could improve on customer service a bit.I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?We currently use IDOL as well as Vertica.How was the initial setup?The product is not easy to set up because you need a lot of training. It has less to do about the product itself, but the knowledge on how to use it. For example, the spreadsheet product Excel, If you don't know mathematics, you will have difficulty to make big Excel model and that's the same with the Vertica. It's just only a tool and depending on your capabilities to design what you need.What about the implementation team?We are the developers of a solution and it is a very sophisticated project. It's something that we spent two years to develop. We already tested it and we are only waiting for the customer to try it and then purchase it. It has taken some time to implement the solution to the way we wanted for our company.What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?It's difficult today to compete with open-source solutions. In these areas, there is a lot of competition and the price of this solution is a bit pricy.Which other solutions did I evaluate?We use another product called IDOL and use them both together as our solution. Sometimes you use both or sometimes you use each one separately. The two products are machine learning products but with different uses. IDOL has a more developed application and is much bigger than in Vertica.What other advice do I have?This solution is used by several big companies such as Bank of America, Uber, and Facebook. Where you need a BI with intelligence. We use the solution because it is very good, you can make interconnections with anything to collect the data, any type of data. I have tried other products and they did not fit as well as this one did, I recommend Vertica.I rate Vertica a nine out of ten.Which deployment model are you using for this solution?On-premisesDisclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer:Partner

Rated 5 out of 5 byreviewer1605324 from A scalable unified analytics platform with good performanceWhat is our primary use case?Our use case is a typical data warehouse. We just use the data warehouse for reporting and the storage of data. Our users are the staff team who do the reporting and data analysis.What is most valuable?The feature I like best is performance. We use Red Tool and Red Job for the data warehouse and reporting. It's perfect. Performance is good, and it can return ad hoc queries very quickly. Of course, it's a cluster, so it's easy to scale.What needs improvement?It's hard to make it slow for a small data volume. For large volumes, it's hard to make it work. It's also hard to make it faster, and to make it scale.For how long have I used the solution?I have been using Vertica for about five years.What do I think about the stability of the solution?It's a stable solution.What do I think about the scalability of the solution?Vertica is a scalable solution.How are customer service and technical support?Technical support is good, and they react quickly.How was the initial setup?The initial setup is okay. You will need some knowledge and some training. I'd say learning takes a couple of months. We use one person to maintain the database side. With the DevOps team, everyone has a different role. But for our database, it's just one person.What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?The price is reasonable. We use a pay per license model. Firstly, you need to buy a license. After that, you mainly pay the annual support fee of around 20% or 25%. I think their prices are quite reasonable.What other advice do I have?We tried to use data lake kind of stuff for machine learning, but for the key functionality of the data warehouse, it's great. Personally, I feel they are over-marketing the machine learning feature and for something like the semi-structured data. But for the data warehouse, it's truly a good solution. I want to recommend it highly.I would tell potential users that it's hard to make it slow for small data volumes. For large volumes, it's hard to make it work, make it faster, and make it scale. Depending on your workload and your use case, you need to first purchase the Red Tool. After that, you need to follow the best practices to have an efficient design.On a scale from one to ten, I would give Vertica a nine.Which deployment model are you using for this solution?On-premisesDisclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 5 out of 5 bySantosh Kurakula from Extremely fast query performance, effective real-time API integrations, and highly qualified supportWhat is our primary use case?We are using Vertica for our data warehouse. We run all the ETL and then store the information for the reports which are given to the business team for use for analytical purposes.What is most valuable?Vertica is a columnar database where the query performance is extremely fast and it can be used for real-time integrations for API and other applications. The solution requires zero maintenance which is helpful.What needs improvement?They could improve the integration and some of the features in the cloud version.For how long have I used the solution?I have been using Vertica for approximately six years.What do I think about the stability of the solution?The solution is highly stable.We have approximately 15 users using this solution in my organization.What do I think about the scalability of the solution?Vertica is scalable.How are customer service and technical support?The support is extremely good, they respond immediately and are highly qualified. We interact with them once in a while to have new features explained, sessions understanding, and if we have an issue. We have a good relationship with them.How was the initial setup?The installation is not simple, if you go through the documents that are provided you should manage to do it. However, having some technical knowledge would be recommended.The time it took to do the implementation was approximately 45 minutes. There is additional software or features that we needed to deploy as part of the migration.What about the implementation team?We did the implementation ourselves with a five-person technical team. However, the first time we did the implementation we had support from the Vertica team. They helped us by providing recommendations and best implementation practices.What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?The pricing could improve, it is a little expensive.Which other solutions did I evaluate?I have evaluated Postgres.What other advice do I have?I would recommend this solution to others if it fits their use case. If someone is looking for a data warehouse solution with a fast query process Vertica is a good choice. However, it is different than a relational database. If the choice was between Postgres and Vertica, I would recommend Vertica.I rate Vertica nine out of ten.Which deployment model are you using for this solution?Hybrid CloudDisclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.
